hey, it looks cooler(in my opinion)

[Mrtucker555]

see i wish there was a way he could make a hose connect from the beds to like a firefighter and the firefighter could connect it to the hydrant and the truck could use that line for water that would look sick!

[AUX3AE]

uh there are hose connections... to my knowledge, there are two on each side of the truck in hoppah's mod (the two different engines)... yeah there should be one on the back, but the only realisim about that would be was if hoppah increased the gpm on it because on the back is where a 2 1/2 inch connection would be.. where as the hose lays on the sides are only 1 1/3 inch

Actually, I don't know if this is entirely correct (unless this is listed in the LAFD'd SOP's)... I've seen plenty of engines with 2.5 inch connections in the cross lays (ours included) along with 1.75 inch lines. I'm not sure what the LAFD specs are for their engines, hopefully Mike can shed some light on the issue.

Mike, do you know the hose layout for LAFD engines? What size hose is standard? Does the LAFD run CAFS capable engines, or is that left to Foam Tenders?

EDIT:

Here are some pictures of their engines, hopefully this will help some.

Upon further review, it appears you may be correct. It looks like 4" or 5" supply line, along with either 2.5" or 3" attack line off the back. The side appears to have either 1.5", 1.75", or 2" hose. If we were going for full accuracy, that would mean the engines should only have three hose connections, with the two crosslays both on the passenger side. The hose off the back of the engine would flow substantially more water. Again, I think we need the actual specifications and guidelines used by the LAFD to determine the actual setup used.

I agree with Mav1701. It's also not possible to add more than four hose connections per vehicle. I can easily change the position of the connections, but I think the way they are positioned now is the best.

Mod news:
I've almost finished the second fire engine too. After that I will work on the Aerial Ladder and the Water Tender. Both will have some more details and some texture improvements. More pictures soon.

[Mrtucker555]

keep up the great work i love the engine!

[Bernt]

Ye hoppah nice fire truck:)
This is realy:D

[Hoppah]

Some new eye candy:








Screenshots made in the editor in free view.

Both fire engine's and the aerial ladder have been changed.
All three vehicles have a silver roof and lots of new details.
The fire engine's have a deck gun. Textures have also been improved.
I'm still trying to add working (animated) supports to the ladder truck.

Great work Adrian IES Clan, this will make people playing multiplayer very happy.

[Hoppah]

Don't thank me lol, thank IES, a bunch of us contributed to the work. Winger started the modding, I edited the map adding some new stuff, and everyone else in IES gave us their input.

I think people will enjoy it as well, because we sure do!

Sorry, it has been fixed.

Are you going to add the side strobe lights? There are 4 on the side of the LA Engines.

Those are pictures of OES= Office of Emergency Services trucks, they're stationed across the state for use at large scale emergencies. They are kind of a modern equivalent of the early civil defense emergency units found in across the U.S. in the 40's- 60's. I know Mike can explain better.
